Thankful Post- On Volcanoes, Ash and Fire

I was suppose to do my thankful post yesterday but all sorts came up.

So, many of you might be aware of the volcano that erupted in Iceland some weeks back but was only escalated last week Thursday, 15th April. Baale was in France for a work conference for a week and was due to come into London that day when he called to say planes might be grounded. Thankfully he made it to London safely. His flight was the last one in before Heathrow was shut down at 12noon that day. I am so grateful he was not stuck in France. A lot of people who went for the same conference are still in France as we speak. Not to talk of many other people who are trapped in different locations. Moreover I am grateful that there were no reports of any plane crashes due to the volcano ashes. On a lighter note, it was kinda surreal not hearing any planes hovering the skies of London. I can hear them now :) Thank God

I am also thankful for God's protection and mercies. The other day, my oven caught fire. I was grilling chicken and the baking paper I used caught fire. I opened the oven, switched off the grill and I did the silliest thing ever. I tried to blow the fire with my mouth and hand! That didn't work obviously and then I froze. Next thing I called out to Baale "Babes, babes, fire!! Next thing I know I see him flying to the kitchen from the living room. He pulled out the tray and somehow stopped the fire. I started laughing and Baale did not find that funny at all. I felt so silly, useless and "mumuish" (idiot) at the same time. Then I felt really sober. Thank God, Baale was home and not stuck in France. What if I was home alone with Princess? What would I have done? Maybe I would have just left the fire, picked up Princess and run out the house. I really don't know and hope never to find out. No repeats, dear Lord!

I was chatting with Good Nigerian Girl at the time and told her what happened. She assured me that if I was alone I would have saved the day but em I am not so sure o. May God help me! Anyway, I think I need to brush up on my safety skills- fire, water, burns and what have you. God forbid bad thing.

Thank God for His deliverance o. lol @ you running out of the house. That would have really been something. The ash cloud thing still continues to baffle me with the inconveniences and disruptions it has left in its wake. I believe the end is really near. God help us. How's Princess doing?

Thankful for you o jare! and there was no 'fire'disasterand thank God Baale was able to make it back just before the airport was shut down, even as at today I still have friends who are stuck on one city or the other.

Thank God the Baale made it back before the airports were shut off and Thank God that the fire thing did not turn to a casualty..I believe though, that if your Hubbby wasnt home..you would have still been able to put out the fire

Thank God for safety...you never know what you'd do if you were alone..years ago when my cooker caught fire and i was home alone and the whole kitchen was in smoke, i just went into auto pilot and didnt even react till i had put out the fire! I'm sure if my husband was home, i might have reacted differently :-)
